GUESTS' REVIEWS

For many years we've spent our summer vacations on Hornby Island. Our last three visits (and hopefully many visits to come) have been at Arthurs House. The first time we walked into the house I thought 'oh, I'm home'. The house itself is perfect with everything thing you need (including lovely art), yet it's simple, uncluttered, super clean and the newly renovated bathroom upstairs is beautiful. There is a totally private deck right off the bedroom upstairs that's perfect for quiet morning reads and a glass of wine in the evening. The location is very peaceful and about a 10 minute walk to the beach (don't miss pilates or yoga at Sandpiper on week day mornings) and a 5 minute ride to the mountain bike trail entrance (you can pretty much ride a different trail every day for a week or link several together for long rides). The best thing about Arthur's House are the hosts, Patrick and Michael, who made us feel so welcome the minute we first met them. They are so respectful of your privacy yet are there if you need anything. It's the perfect getaway from the city.

"Arthur's House is the perfect get away on Hornby Island. It offers the comfort of a modern home, combined with the peace, tranquility and nature of Hornby Island. The outdoor space is fantastic. Birds, trees, outdoor living and eating areas, completely private. Indoors there is an excellent, modern kitchen and a very comfortable living room, filled with fabulous books & movies to enjoy. Upstairs, the two bedrooms are very comfortable and cozy. There is also a fantastic, private deck to enjoy. The home is an easy 10 minute walk to a gorgeous beach and pets are welcome everywhere! Forest bike rides are also nearby. The best part of Arthur's House though are the wonderful owners, Patrick & Michael.

You are very well looked after." - Christiane and Mark C., Vancouver BC

"My family and I have enjoyed Hornby Island for many years with family and friends. Over those years we have camped and stayed at several cabins around the Island. In 2013 we discovered Arthurs House and have since rented it for three consecutive summers...

What I like about Arthurs House is that it has the Hornby "charm" balanced with "in house" amenities that provide a modern vibe. Its has a great mix of classiness and beach house. Everything you need in summer cabin is yours. From awesome appliances, very clean cabin, comfy beds, a beautiful renovated bathroom, to a very "private and chill deck" off the main bedroom where many nights are spent listening to music and looking at a canvass of stars (of course topped off with a glass of Malbec). The list goes on and on... Michael and Patrick are wonderful hosts who really understand providing a quality accommodation with being accessible and upholding genuine privacy for guests.

The location is great as Sandpiper Beach is mere walk and all the wonderful Hornby spots are close by.

Stay at Arthurs House - you won't be dissappointed!"

"We enjoy so many aspects of staying at Arthur's House starting with the setting among all the trees, with open space around the house; the sparkling cleanliness of the house; the spare elegance of the rooms - so serene; the kitchen flooded with sunlight in the morning; the wonderful old huge dining table, the antique lights, cooking on a professional stove; curling up with a book on the chaise in the evening; the peaceful images every time we walk through the living room; the luxurious new shower; the comfy beds; the revelation of star watching on the balcony at night in truly dark skies; and our charming and generous hosts. It is a restoring refuge from a pressured world and after a day interacting with all the island has to offer."- Barbara and Geoff S., Victoria BC
